If you are feeling
anxious about coming in to the library, don't worry - we can arrange for a library buddy to meet you outside and run through the first steps.

Top tips

We asked current students for their top tips on getting the most out of the library - this is what they said.

The University of Plymouth wants to give you the best start to your first year of student life.

Through the University of Plymouth eTextbooks scheme, over 80 per cent of first year undergraduates, receive their core reading in eTextbook format at no extra charge. We recognise that being a student today can be expensive and we want to address the hidden costs of buying core titles needed to start your studies in higher education. We ensure
each student has access to the same material by giving our first year students a package of eTextbooks worth £150 on average. These titles are carefully selected by your lecturer and embedded into your learning experience through your Moodle site.
